I think I started drinking Millers but after having some popular brand name import beer (dark beers) I discovered a entire new world of flavor all of it's own and could not even pick up a Millers to drink again after that!
And those darker imported beers probably were much less hoppy.
If you haven't been drinking for a bit, you have probably missed the current "hoppier is better" theme that is especially prevalent on the west coast.
I have even tasted some imports aimed at the U.S. market that have completely ruined (IMO) the flavour profile by trying to make the beer hoppy. Like hoppy German hefeweizens or hoppy Belgian beers.

I am sure that is how it is. I have actually not had anything to drink for a fairly long time period.
 
I guess you may know more about beer than I do, but as far as I look at beer, and sort of like some Scotch, Wine, etc., if it is "aged" it took more to develop a fine flavor. I just feel that it takes some time and care for something to be given an age process and takes no time or effort to shoot out a 6 pack of beer from a factory and market it the way BUD does and that perhaps the mass public has no idea what a aged beer would be like. I am not an expert on beer or any other "booze" oriented product. I also note that some people may like BUD if that is what they really like to drink.

I like BUD(AHBIF). It pays good dividends. :p

This was Schlitz and Blue Ribbon country before it was Leinie's country. Ironically, I just found a Leinenkugel's 1888 Bock cap in my jacket, I guess from last year lol We're from Milwaukee and 3 generations spent much of their lives down the block from Schlitz, and a few blocks over from Pabst. I lived 10 blocks from Miller when I was a real little guy.

Schlitz and Blue Ribbon when you're in the heart of Leinenkugel country? Oh, man. My dad has drank PBR for over fifty years, so I get the attraction. I didn't inherit it though. Unfortunately for my bank account, I like the expensive stuff although I probably don't average more than three or four beers a month these days.

Good eye, C-dot :)

That's a De Vorss drawing. See, I can recognize the great pin-up artist drawing styles from reading my book, The Great American Pin-Up ;) If any of you gentleman's (and ladies!) library shelves are lacking this book, I highly recommend it.

We had them in school, I hated them. Not user friendly, at all.

Yeah, Macs are for people who don't do anything productive. :p
Avocado!?:eeek:
